    in mel kiper's first mock draft he has us taking percy harvin. he's small but he has that speed like a leon washington but he probably has better hands then leon so i think percy harvin would be a good wr

    i think percy harvin will be a good leon washington, so i really dont see a need for him. he doesnt run great routes. im not sure about his hands, he tends to be injured and although he plays through it alot he still isnt often 1005 he scares me and i dont see a big need for him on this team.

    I voted for the burner, but I am a guy that likes his cake and wants to eat it too.

    the options on the poll are bad. In real life, you don;t have to have one or the other....just because a guy is tall, he isn't necessarily a possession buy, and just because a guy is fast, it doesn't mean he isn't tall.

    Bad poll.

    Both. You want both size and speed. 6'2" and 4.4 40 with great hands.

    well I would go along with both but looking back on the previous season I can say the one thing the Jets seemed to lack was speed. Why did we get so upset when Leon did not get touches...cause he is fast. I think on both sides we need to add speed. Thats why I think that we should aim for speed. I mean we have Marcus Henry, but he aint working out so well

    My vote goes to height. Clowney and Stuckey have speed. This team needs a tall target on the outside, IMO.

    My vote goes to a route running technician. Why isn't that up there?

    He who gets most separation get the ball the most.

    Burress isn't a burner and you can see how badly the Giants missed him. A big target that your QB (especially a young one) can just throw the ball up to and rely on catching it even with good coverage is what we need.

    And why would Mangini let him go to the team that ran him out of town?
